Eric Reeves

Eric ReevesThis site links to electronically published analytic briefs and advocacy writings on Sudan by Eric Reeves. These have been organized chronologically, and include all electronic publications since the signing of the historic Machakos Protocol (July 2002). There are separate links for publications in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. There is also a separate link for analyses published from July 2002 to December 2003 and another for yet earlier pieces, primarily related to oil development in southern Sudan and pre-July 2002 stages of the peace process involving the National Islamic Front regime in Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A).

There are also links to a number of Reeves' formal publications in newspapers, news magazines, academic journals, and human rights publications, as well as the texts of his Congressional testimony. Finally, a complete list of publications, testimony, and academic presentations is also linked, as is a grouping of profiles of his work.

Humanitarian Conditions in Darfur, Two Months Before the Rainy Season

Posted by: ereeves on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:04 PM
Current Sudan News
Darfur’s rainy season largely coincides with the traditional “hunger gap” between spring planting and fall harvest; so the loss of transport capacity, rebel violence along the Chad/Darfur border, humanitarian obstruction by Khartoum, pervasive insecurity throughout Darfur, and the failure of effective UNAMID deployment may make this rainy season the “perfect storm” of human destruction
